Jahrhundert! Ian Mortimer nimmt uns mit in diese kuriose Zeit, die für viele schlichtweg für Übermaß steht. Zwischen der leicht langweilig anmutenden Eleganz des 18. Jahrhunderts und der prüden moralischen Überlegenheit der Frühviktorianer wirkt diese Epoche liederlich, grell, gefährlich, schockierend und anstößig - doch dabei höchst unterhaltsam und anziehend. Es ist das Zeitalter von Jane Austen und den Dichtern der Romantik, der Gemälde von John Constable, der eleganten Kleidung von Beau Brummell und der poetischen Freiheit von Lord Byron. Mortimer zeigt uns, wie sich die Engländer des Regency vergnügt haben, wie sie regiert und gedacht haben, was sie aßen, tranken und trugen, woran sie glaubten und wovor sie Angst hatten - und zeichnet so ein lebendiges Porträt dieser außergewöhnlichen Zeit.Der Übergang vom 18. ins 19. Jahrhundert, auch Regency genannt, ist geprägt von Ungerechtigkeit. Die Bevölkerung ist stark gewachsen, überall herrscht Armut. Gleichzeitig sind es vielleicht die letzten Jahre, in denen die Menschen gewisse Freiheiten genießen, bevor die strikten moralischen Regeln des Viktorianischen Zeitalters ihren Alltag bestimmen.Mit Ian Mortimer reisen wir durch vier der aufregendsten und kulturell wichtigsten Jahrzehnte der britischen Geschichte - eine Zeit des Überschwangs, des Nervenkitzels und des unkontrollierten, schlechten Benehmens. Gleichzeitig war es eine Zeit des Umbruchs, die von einem beispiellosen sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen Wandel geprägt war. Und wie alle Epochen der Geschichte war es ein Zeitalter vieler Widersprüche - immerhin konnte Beethovens donnernde fünfte Symphonie im selben Jahr uraufgeführt werden, in dem Jane Austen die feinfühligen Empfindsamkeiten von Überredung zu Papier brachte. 496 pp. Deutsch.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Travel back through time this Christmas on a tour of a completely different world: England in the Middle Ages. Imagine you could travel back to the fourteenth century.

In The Time Traveller's Guide Ian Mortimer's radical new approach turns our entire understanding of history upside down. History is not just something to be studied; it is also something to be lived, whether that's the life of a peasant or a lord. The result is perhaps the most astonishing history book you are ever likely to read; as revolutionary as it is informative, as entertaining as it is startling.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The past is a foreign country: this is your guidebook. If you could travel back in time, the period from 1660 to 1700 would make one of the most exciting destinations in history. It is the age of Samuel Pepys and the Great Fire of London; bawdy comedy and the libertine court of Charles II; Christopher Wren in architecture, Henry Purcell in music and Isaac Newton in science the civil wars are over and a magnificent new era has begun. But what would it really be like to live in Restoration Britain? Where would you stay and what would you eat? What would you wear and where would you do your shopping? The third volume in the series of Ian Mortimers bestselling Time Travellers Guides answers the crucial questions that a prospective traveller to seventeenth-century Britain would ask. How much should you pay for one of those elaborate wigs? Should you trust a physician who advises you to drink fresh cows urine to cure your gout? Why are boys made to smoke in school? And why are you unlikely to get a fair trial in court? Peoples lives are changing rapidly from a world of superstition and religious explanation to rationalism and scientific calculation. In many respects the period sees the tipping point between the old world and the new as fear and uncertainty, hardship and eating with your fingers give way to curiosity and professionalism, fine wines and knives and forks. Travelling to Restoration Britain encourages us to reflect on the customs and practices of daily life and this unique guide not only teaches us about the seventeenth century but makes us look with fresh eyes at the modern world.
